::Judy & Gary: A Wedding of Love and Laughter::

Laughter, love, joy and tears. Words can’t describe how much emotion was filled in Judy and Gary’s wedding.

The day started out with Judy and her girls getting ready at the Sheridan Hotel, with an afternoon ceremony at the St Ilija Macedonian Church. Their fun filled traditional and modern reception was held at {Steamwhistle Brewery} in Toronto. So many incredible moments, I think I’ll let the photos speak for themselves as while editing them, I’ve lost track how many times I’ve teared up.

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to {Allison Suter} and Tami Kitay for assisting me. On one of the hottest days in July, you guys were so incredible and awesomely fun to work with. Words can’t describe how much I am so thankful for all your help capturing the wonderful events that folded out from their day.

Judy and Gary, thank you for inviting me to celebrate in your day. You guys have HUGE hearts and your wedding was a reflection of your unbelievably love for one another and your families. This was echoed in so many warm speeches of well wishes and loving embraces with family and friends.

Judy’s Maid of Honour Lisa is expecting and there were a lot of wonderful references in the morning to “Little V” is on their way. I don’t know who is more excited!

Meanwhile Allison and Tami were photographing Gary and the guys getting ready and captured these great shots.

And then it was on to Steamwhistle Brewery for some fantastic celebrations!

Judy’s bridesmaids were a fantastic support and kept us laughing.

And then it was time for a few photos of just the newlyweds.

Reception time! Judy and Gary put so much effort into all the details. I want to show off just how much work they did to celebrate with their family and friends. The Disney inspired theme for their menus was from their Magic Kingdom engagement. And they carried these little details carefully throughout their day.

A beautiful first dance.

That led into a traditional Macedonian celebration of the new couple.

So many wonderful heart felt speeches that I know left a lot of people with their hearts full.

and their tummies full too. These cupcakes were so incredibly delicious and pretty to photograph!
